{"product_id":"history-of-curiosity-hardback","title":"History of Curiosity - Hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe  author's grasp of the vast, often obscure, but highly interesting body of literature which emerged in the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries commands the attention of a wide readership outside purely academic boundaries. Stagl weaves together a series of separate studies, emphasizing links between the figures, the philosophies and the literature of early modern times; links which have previously only been suspected. In focusing on the ars apodemica , or art of travelling, a body of formal instruction on how to travel, observe and record the information gathered, Stagl demonstrates the origins of the characteristic inquisitive and systematizing spirit of the modern West. A History of Curiosity  examines the early methodology of anthropological and social research from a critical-historical perspective. The two principal methods of research, travel and the questionnaire, are studied in the context of the social conditions and intellectual trends of early modern times.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45565274325230,"sku":"9783718653423","price":143.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/history-of-curiosity-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
